This time of year is in fact a great time to start composting as people may be starting their pre-winter clean up, especially in leafy Beare Green, and rather than putting leaves etc into rubbish bins, composting them is an attractive alternative.
Apparently making compost is simple; family waste such as empty cereal packets and egg boxes; fruit scraps and vegetable peelings; tea bags and coffee grounds, are in fact great ingredients to make compost. Mix this in with garden waste and you have the perfect recipe. I say apparently because I’ve never composted myself.
To help me get started, the Surrey Waste Partnership is offering home composting bins at great prices, starting from £14.00 (RRP £39.00). Seems like a good deal?
Whilst not an avid gardener (my wife is) I will invest in a bin. Once I get going with composting I’ll write more about my experience. I’d be interested to hear from you if you already make compost or whether you plan to? Please drop a note below.
